COYOTE’S MAGIC (or Lamp Lighting)

The what is what matters

not the when.

Because the what 

will come, 

at the beginning, the middle 

or the end of something –

and usually 

will look a lot like 

Coyote making a magic

of its own denial and

deception. These moments

must always be met 

with a setpoint, 

and decisively

with a “no,” that‘s

a “yes” to ourselves.

It’s like turning off 

a lamp before the 

the lit match can

ignite the gas.

Before the idea of flame

hisses into fire.
